Today Motorola officially introduced a new mobile handset, one that looks very similar to some other touchscreen devices already available on the market.

The Motorola Evoke QA-4 handset is a socially-inclined wireless device with a full touchscreen and targets the social networking crowd.

Motorola's new handset supports different messaging styles with a full touchscreen Qwerty keyboard and slide-out traditional keypad.

News of the new CDMA device leaked out last week in fact.

However, there was no word on which wireless carrier would sell it. Cricket Communications says it will start offering the phone in five to six weeks.

Pricing will be announced when it launches, a Cricket spokesman said.

Motorola's new Evoke QA-4 handset even includes an accelerometer to switch between portrait and landscape.

Users can decide which "widgets" appear on their home screen and which are hidden.

There's no question that Motorola is trying hard to regain part of the market share it has lost in the last year, and the Evoke QA-4 is a good example of that.
